Masters of the Video Store

In this episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we high-kick our way through a 1989 action flick that packs a punch—but the story behind the scenes might just kick harder. Originally conceived as a sequel to Masters of the Universe (yes, that Masters of the Universe), this film almost got shelved until its star roundhouse-kicked his way to worldwide box office fame. Suddenly, what was destined to be a forgotten relic of the late '80s found new life thanks to its lead actor’s knack for delivering epic martial arts moves.

But it’s not all kicks and glory! A stunt performer actually lost his eye during the production after a real knife was used in one of the more intense scenes. Yeah, that’s right—a guy sacrificed an eyeball to make sure the movie looked as real as possible. You can’t make this stuff up, and Jerry’s here to break down all the wild behind-the-scenes stories that took this low-budget film from the scrap heap to video store legend status.

So join Jerry as he kicks open the vault and dives into the movie’s path from toy franchise wannabe to cult classic. Whether you’re a fan of action films, or just love hearing about movie sets gone wrong, this episode delivers a swift kick of entertainment that will knock you out cold.
